Harvard holds ‘Undocugraduation’ for illegal alien grads

It’s a first for an American university that was founded more than 100 years before the Revolutionary War: the school has recognized illegal aliens among its graduating students.

A Harvard graduation event dubbed “Undocugraduation” was held earlier this month to mark a first-ever event on the historic campus, The Harvard Crimson reported.

The event was held to celebrate “undocumented graduates,” the school newspaper said.

History professor Kirsten Weld, who was arrested for blocking traffic during a Donald Trump protest in 2017, addressed the gathering. She said the road to “being whoever you want to be” has been more difficult for the illegals than their classmates.

Derryck Green of Project 21 says the event was nothing but a political jab at President Trump and our country’s laws.

“That they would have this kind of graduation is, in essence,” he observes, “kind of putting their thumb in the eye of our national immigration system.”

In fact, student group “Act on a Dream,” which has called for the abolishment of the U.S. Immigration and Enforcement Agency, organized “Undocugraduation.”

Green says illegals are allowed to enter the university system over more qualified applicants who are citizens by birth or have gone through the legal naturalization process.

“The beneficiaries of these types of social and racial justice programs get privileges and benefits at the expense of other students,” he complains. “Not only the students that have been admitted into these institutions, but specifically students that were not admitted in because these beneficiaries have taken their place.”

So Lori Loughlin and others are facing federal charges for trying to buy their children into schools ahead of more qualified students, and those here illegally are being admitted ahead of more qualified students???

This is a case of “it is cool to be illegal.” Part of the greatness of American culture is due to the respect of the laws of the land. It may be that the colleges and Universities may think: “Hey we are not in the legal or illegal immigration business, we are in the higher education business.” Education from kindergarten to post-graduate levels involves truth. It involves wrong answers and right answers. It involves correct and incorrect. It involves moral and immoral. Many years ago a friend of mine had a professor who was having an affair with one of his beautiful students. She received an “A” in the class. (I won’t go into details) A professor can lose his (or her) job for such antics. Yes, like I have already implied, profs are not in the law enforcement business, but whether they like it or not, they are in the “right and wrong” business. And if a natural-born or naturalized citizen was denied entrance to the University due to overcrowding: an injustice has taken place if there is an abundance of undocumented persons enrolled that caused an enrollment denial to a citizen.

Honestly don’t know why US citizens don’t file class action lawsuits against Harvard since it is obvious that for every illegal alien they admit there is a legal citizen who is being denied admittance which is a blatantly discriminatory practice being perpetrated against legal citizens that should be unlawful, if not unconstitutional.

Even countries like Germany that offer free or low cost college do not do not do so for people illegally present in their countries.

Attending Harvard costs approx $70k year & pretty sure most, if not all, illegal aliens are not paying anything based on Harvard’s website info which says most family incomes under $65,000 year will pay $0 tuition cost.

Harvard has $38 Billion endowment funds & if they are going to admit anyone then it had better be legal citizens of this country & not illegal aliens.

Harvard as a non-profit does not pay real estate taxes or taxes on it’s endowment investment gains meaning Harvard is bilking legal citizen taxpayers out of billions of dollars while Harvard is turning away legal citizen students & admitting & offering free college to illegal aliens.

Forget so-called LGBTQ special rights, it is now much more urgent to demand legislation for legal citizens to be designated a protected class against discrimination.

They are all about “hope and change”. Hope has no practical meaning. Change means uprooting everything.

There are two main types of change – creation and destruction. It’s much easier to destroy than create. When was the last time a Leftie actually created anything worth having? I can’t think of any examples.

This is because the Left is lazy and stupid.

Plenty examples of the Left destroying. Have you seen the “progressive utopia” of Detroit lately? It looks like a bombing range.

So yes, the Left must destroy everything. It’s the only play in their playbook. They can do no other.

Don’t expect any sympathy from me. I did hard physical labor in the hot sun under sometimes totalitarian bosses for low wages and paid cash for my college education. The thought that these undeserving leaches on society have been ushered to the front of the line revolts me.

Deport them all then jail the admissions people for Conspiracy to Commit Fraud and Co-conspiracy to Commit Illegal immigration .

It revolts me too.. Especially as i know seven comrades who served, who even WITH 10+ years each, and hundreds of hrs of community service and other volunteer stuff on their resume, were not ‘qualified’ enough to go to harvard when they left the service..

GEE i wonder how many hrs of community service/ other things, these illegals have? ANY?
